Are you freaking kidding me? The democrats spent 4 years trying to oust a dully elected president by any means necessary including a fabricated dossier paid for by the DNC. That's OK with you? People have been executed for treason for lessor crimes. The democratic propaganda machine called the media, even the ones you claim are "neutral " totally swept in under the rug. Ends justify the means I guess?In a complex world where individuals have to keep up with so much, we have to make values based decisions on what gets our attention.
Did a memo go out saying that all good party members must obsess over the Steele dossier or turn in their cards? I'm not sure how this gatekeeping thing works that you continue to espouse.

I could go on and on as well.
Then why never criticize? By remaining silent and continuing to call out the conservatives it tells me otherwise. You've never called the dems out for their coup. I guess it was acceptable since you hate Trump.
Lol, it tells that you believe what liberals believe making you a liberal. It's OK to admit it. I know who you're biggest fans on on here.Tells you what? That we believe different things? Good call Cotton.
Spoiler Alert: We do. Your labels do not interest me, call me a liberal Marxist fascist socialist if it makes you feel better, your tribalistic view towards politics is low brow and boring.
I provided the textbook academic definitions earlier.
Fascism (/ˈfæʃɪzəm/) is a form of far-right, authoritarian ultranationalism characterized by dictatorial power, forcible suppression of opposition, and strong regimentation of society and of the economy, which came to prominence in early 20th-century Europe.
- the political and economic theories of Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels, later developed by their followers to form the basis for the theory and practice of communism.
So suppression of opposition is at the core of Fascism, and Marxism is the basic theory of communism. I definitely think both apply here.
Because definitions on paper are actually the way things are in real life? I suppose you think antifa is actally an antifaciast group? The reality is that they are a faciast group willing to put you under their boot heel for not submitting to their views.So you're changing definitions to fit your worldview. Not a good look.

Where did you pull that statement from? Are you afraid to answer simple questions? When has the definition of communism ever matched the practice of it in the real world?
Im not kicking the legs out of our republic. No one is trashing fake news when it’s the truth and people post about it.Oh. Well. Since you think it, please continue to kick out the legs from under one of the pillars of our democratic republic.
You guys used to love to trash #fakenews, truth is - y'all are the biggest consumers of it.
It's funny to watch them keep using words like marxist, socialist, fascist, communist interchangeably without having ANY idea about the political ideology that defines them. They're buzzwords of things they've been told are bad and that's good enough for them.
I don’t think I admitted to any lie when it came out. The story came out from somewhere, which means to me there is something there. When there is smoke, there is fire. Even you should know that.Is this your way of admitting you lied about Detroit voting or just fell for a lie you read on the internet?
No meltdown at all. Contrary to your fantasy, shop talk is a real thing. Swearing at someone is common place. If you're that thinned skinned, that's your problem. You'd never actually make it in the real world.I see you haven't found a place of calm yet after you melted down last night. That's ok. We all have rough days. I understand and sympathize.
To answer your question from earlier: The name AntiFa does come from the words anti and fascist. I believe the origins were with good intentions but the group has been co-opted and turned into a group of quasi-anarchist lawbreakers and are deserving of monitoring for security reasons.
And speaking of co-opting, that is what is being done with words such as socialism, communism, fascism, etc. It is an age old tactic by which words are appropriated and definitions contorted for weaponization against a person or group. Ultimately, the original definition becomes lost all the co-opted words transition into epithets that vaguely mean "enemy."
Maybe we've seen a combination of multiple ideologies. Similar to Bernies "democratic socialist" nonsense.
